Merry Christmas !!

Christmas is celebrated on 25 December. The British prepare the house and decorate the tree.
The name of the traditional Christmas dessert is the Christmas pudding. Inside, there are raisins, nuts and cherries. They hide six pence in the Pudding. They pull Christmas crackers during the dinner.
Another traditional Christmas sweet: mince pies. Inside, there are raisins, glazed cherries, fruit... This is the favourite food of Father Christmas.
Here's the recipe:

        Ingredients

• 225g cold butter , diced
• 350g plain flour
• 100g golden caster sugar
• 280g mincemeat
• 1 small egg , beaten
• icing sugar , to dust

1. To make the pastry, rub the butter into the flour, then mix in the sugar and a pinch of salt. Combine the pastry into a ball - don't add liquid - and knead it briefly. The dough will be fairly firm, like shortbread dough. You can use the dough immediately, or chill for later.
2. Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C. Line 18 holes of two 12-hole patty tins, by pressing small walnut-sized balls of pastry into each hole. Spoon the mincemeat into the pies.
3. Take slightly smaller balls of pastry than before and pat them out between your hands to make round lids, big enough to cover the pies. Top the pies with their lids, pressing the edges gently together to seal - you don't need to seal them with milk or egg as they will stick on their own. (The pies may now be frozen for up to 1 month).
4. Brush the tops of the pies with the beaten egg. Bake for 20 minutes until golden. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack. To serve, lightly dust with icing sugar. They will keep for 3 to 4 days in an airtight container.

halloween

HALLOWEEN is a festival that takes place on the night of October 31 to November 1. This day is celebrated primarily in Ireland, Canada, Australia, Britain and the United States. The best known tradition is that children will dress up in scary or funny costumes (ghosts, witches, monsters, vampires for example) and go ring at the door asking adults, often themselves disguised, for candy,

fruit or money with the formula: Trick or treat! ("Farce or bonbon!") or simply "Happy Halloween!". Other activities include masked balls, watching horror movies, visiting "haunted" houses, etc.

Halloween is an Anglo-Saxon Folk Festival, to which some lend an originally Celtic, the calendar concomitance of November 1, period of the ancient Celtic religious festival of Samain. This tradition was carried on to North America in the 19th century by the Irish, Scottish and other immigrants.
